I've been here almost a year; I am fully aware of the hours, and the incident which caused it.
From CNN, about 30mins agoThe North Korean army has declared invalid the armistice agreement that ended the Korean War in 1953, the official newspaper of the country's ruling Workers' Party said Monday.
Since last week, North Korea had been threatening to scrap the armistice after the U.N. Security Council passed tougher sanctions against it in response to its February 12 nuclear test.
On Monday, the Rodong Sinmun newspaper reported that the Supreme Command of North Korea's army had done so.
"The U.S. has reduced the armistice agreement to a dead paper," the newspaper said.
North Korea also cut off direct phone links with South Korea at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency. The phone line was the emergency link for quick, two-way communication between the two sides.
The armistice agreement, signed in 1953, ended the three-year war between North and South Korea in a truce.
Since the two sides remain technically at war, it remains to be seen whether the invalidation means that either side can resume hostilities.
The Rodong Sinmun reported the Supreme Command saying that it can now make a "strike of justice at any target anytime, not bound to the armistice agreement and achieve the national reunification, the cherished desire of the Korean nation."
However, the North has nullified the agreement on several occasions in the past.
Last line is most important line.
EDIT:
Picture just taken off the front page of Naver's news section, which is basically like pulling headlines off Yahoo in English, so not a serious news source. The first headline is about NK raising tensions by ending the agreement, but I just thought it was funny that the main picture is about StarCraft2. Stereotypes gogogo
It's about Starcraft 2 because today is the release day of the new expansion, haha.
Uhhh... okay.North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has threatened to "wipe out" a South Korean island as Pyongyang came under new economic and diplomatic fire from US sanctions and UN charges of gross rights abuses.
On a visit to frontline military units on Monday, Kim briefed officers on their mission "to strike" Baengnyeong and turn the island into a "sea of fire"
.
"Once an order is issued, you should break the waists of the crazy enemies, totally cut their windpipes and thus clearly show them what a real war is like," Kim was quoted as saying by the Korean Central News Agency.
Anyway, looks like i'm gonna have to order exercise equipment from someplace other than South Korea. Thanks, Kim.

It's cheap as fuck, man.
So the white house released a statement it seems Today. Basically we told them if they don't structure and act right they get curb stomped. Ok Fuck posting on my phone,.
The answer to nukes is always more nukes.
Well, yea, kind of.
Can we just give Japan a army change their constitution to allow declarations of war and let them stomp Kim Jong un into the ground... And possibly most of China again...?
Japan would rather not have an army, or the bills that go along with it.
Yeah isn't Japan in even worse economic shit then we are?
It's that time of year again already?

This is how communist regimes get food and supplies to continue their failed societies. The West will give them more "aid" and then 1 year from now they will do it again when they are desperate and back to being dirt poor and eating clumps of grass.
Let them eat Uranium.
Because we hate them, but we aren't willing to let them starve and end the problem.
